  • Jo-Anne, Kimberly, Brittany, Kyle & Jessica, I was deeply saddened to hear of Keith's passing. As a Bruce Ave. neighbour and a kindred parent of 4 kids, I witnessed Keith's dedication to his children. Whether it was teaching them to ride bikes or walking them to school, he was right by their side. He was the kind of Dad that helped out at hot dog days and sat through many parent council meetings providing a man's point of view. He was truly a devoted husband and proud father.
